as q consequence not small proper
ton of the assemblags was somewhat
promiscuous, and sufficiently 80 to
tax the patience OF a courtesy even as
profound as that which is an es-
sential element Of the ne ture of
high bred Chinese. But no apprehen-

consequences approached the reality
when the supper room was thrown
open, aud il is said the reports of the
charge made by the hash brigade are
not in the least exaggerated. The in
cidents OF Tuesday night put about the
last feather on the Gamers back, and
there seems to be no other remedy to
exclude people who are not wanted
from official and prlvats entertain
ments but to station a ticket taBer at
the door, and request all guests to
bring their invitations with them for
Inspection. The propriety OF taking
some such course is being seriously
discussed by those who have been
such great sufferers from the i'll pro-
ceediDgs of others.
A DEMoCRATIC ARCHITECT WANTED.
81 am very much surprised, ;" said
Republican Sen ator to your cores.
pendent today, "that.no Democrat has
yet made his appearance who seeks
the place of M. E. Bell, supervising
architect OF the Treasury Department;
that is to say, no one who has the nee.
es'ary ability, has yet applied. There
are, OF course, plenty of applicants,
but the right man has not yet asked
for the appointment Secretary
Manning would very willingly give
the place to a good man if he could
find one that would accept; in fact,
am informed on the mo reliable
authority that he has offered the place
to no lees than four different srchi-
tects in different parts of the country.
The place only pays $4,000 a year, it is
true, but the aupsrv sing architect
virtually has control of the expendi-
ture OF millions, and it is a place that
gives an architect an extensive &C
quaintance with the contractors, which
is in itself frequently worth the ettirs
salary paid for his services by the gov.
eminent. The present incumbent of
the office had very little practical ex-
perience before he was appointed, and
nothing would please the administra-
ton bstter than for we'll qualified
Democrat TO apply for the pace"
"How is it that you, Republican,
make this suggestion ?" "This is not
a political matter. Mr.. Bell passed
out of the Republican party some time
ago, and think it would be very d fiji.
cult to explain his political affiliations
just now. He left the Republican
party voluntarily to il huence his own
retention, aud as far as can learn the
Democrats are not particularly anx.
ious to have him with them"
